Description: 100% Natural Dry Leaves Benefits of using Jackfruit leaves in your shrimp tank: Reduces the risk of bacterial and fungal outbreaksProvides great natural coverProvides biofilm grazingStimulates breedingRelieves stressMildly reduces pHIt seems that most all the leaves we utilize in our aquariums provide some medicinal or antibacterial and antifungal properties. Leaves of the Katahal, which is also known as the Jackfruit tree, are no different and also have healing properties for human use. Originating from south India, Katahal is from the same family as the Mulberry tree and has many positive uses in the aquarium. For fish, they have great nutritional value in the leaves and in the surface growing biofilm. These tropical botanicals make a great addition to any aquarium with shrimp or fish, young or old. Killifish, Apistogramma, and other dwarf cichlids love them at 1 to 2 leaves per 10 gallons of aquarium volume. Like most other leaves it is recommended to boil them for a couple minutes to help them sink faster in the aquarium. In aquarium use, Jack leaves refer to the dried leaves of the Artocarpus heterophyllus tree – a tree that is native to Southeast Asia and has been used in traditional medicine there for centuries. Once dried, they are ready to be used in aquariums. Improve the quality of your aquarium waterWhen added to your aquarium, Jack leaf will gradually break down. And as it does, it releases tannic acid, tannins and other substances into your aquarium. As the tannic acid is released, it lowers the pH of your water. If you want a natural solution to reduce the pH levels in your aquarium, jack leaf helps to achieve just that. A study has also found that jack leaves can significantly decrease water hardness (GH), which can benefit those who use hard water in their aquariums. What good is that for your aquarium?Well, the water out of your faucet probably doesn’t match the ideal conditions of the fish you keep. jack leaves change the water so that it more closely resembles the habitat of your fish, particularly those from Southeast Asia and South America. Fish that benefit from jack leaves include:AngelfishBarbsBettaCory catfishDiscusGourami'sKillifishPlatiesRasborasTetra Natural medication for skin problemsMany aquarists swear by jack leaf as a natural remedy for diseases or injury involving their fish’s skin or rather their scales. It is believed the tannins released by jack leaves kill bacteria, fungus and viruses, allowing an injured fish to heal much quicker. It is even suggested that jack leaf might be a better solution than antibiotics and other medications when fighting bacteria and fungus in commercial fish farms.In Southeast Asia, many betta keepers add an jack leaf to their betta’s water because they believe that it toughens their fish’s skin and makes them better for fighting. They also use it to help a fish heal after a fight. While there have been no studies that prove jack leaf helps toughen betta skin, there is strong anecdotal evidence to suggest it does. The argument for jack as a medication for fish, however, is a little more compelling… jack leaves contain flavonoids. I won’t bore you with all the details, but a flavonoid is essentially what gives fruits and vegetables their color. But it’s one flavonoid in particular that we are interested in – quercetin. And, jack leaves have lots of it. Other studies show that tannins have anti-fungal properties. It’s possible the tannins and flavonoids in jack leaves are responsible for fish healing faster. A leafy location for your fish to spawnMany fish release their eggs (spawn) on or underneath fallen leaves. This helps hide eggs from predators or from washing away. Discus and tetras prefer to spawn on leaves at the bottom of a waterway. Betta and gouramis, on the other hand, build bubble nests on leaves that float on the surface. leaves also have another benefit to spawning, and it’s one I covered earlier. Many fish will only spawn under certain water conditions. And the reduced pH and water hardness may be exactly what is needed to trigger your fish to spawn.
